= Overview =
'''Perks''' are special attributes that are gained or lost through your [[Jobs|Job]], your [[Character Creation|background]], or through [[Sanity#Oddities|assorted]] circumstances. Most of these are permanent, so it may be worth your while to decide what type of overall character you'd like before going after some of these.
